@caulifloweredneanderthal will you average me out and throw me down for 27:55…:a replica of my June bank holiday time.
As before, excuse the mangled evidence. We’ve further reason since last month to avoid showing exactly where we live.
Torturous stuff for a butty fucker that sheds fitness quickly but not pounds. Throw in a newborn and absence of sleep for a month.
I only had the first 4km planned out so kinda cheated when gasping then…trundled down the hill on Castle Avenue to finish.

Too much blue not enough yellow
Good to see such consistency, especially after the new arrival.
Well done mate

Hi all
A thread set up to log the next event in the virtual fun run series.
Here’s the rules. You run a 5km as hard as you can manage the first weekend of July (anytime from Friday July 3rd morning to Sunday July 5th night). If you can’t get it done over the weekend, you can do one in the week leading up to it.
Anybody that waits until the weekend itself (i.e. starting on the Friday) can do more than one effort if they so wish.
Like the last time, screenshots of fitness watches or apps required. Please submit these in kilometers, and please don’t try and work it out by how many steps you were ahead of your hungover buddy who couldn’t keep up with you (cc @flattythehurdler ). Please tag me as you put your times up so I’ll be able to collate them.
We will go again at the end of the summer at this distance to see who has made gains.
No entry fee although I’m suggesting that we could perhaps use this particular event as an opportunity to throw a token donation towards the upkeep of the site (fiver or tenner maybe) - this ok @rocko ?
The August run will probably have a charitable element and the hill challenge and final 5km won’t have any entry fees.
Hey lads ,
A reminder that the 5km is this weekend. Some lads like @Gman have already logged their times, others are injury doubts (myself, @Thomas_Brady , @backinatracksuit ) and others are back hurling Junior B.
Be good to get a good turn out again. As above, put up your time with evidence, and cc myself. I’ll get the times collated some time next week

Went out for a test tonight and it looks like I’m good to go… Back is 90% good. I’ll chance Sunday morning.

A serious statement of intent out of you by stopping 50 yards before the 5k last night
I was waiting for you to say it … it was for @PhattPike really — a lovely 4.95k run.

what is the latest I can do it? Sunday or Monday?
I was only gonna do a short spin to test back - said i’d do 3.5 k loop around the block and set off at a decent pace for me and when I got to 3.5 I felt fine so kept going to 4k - but I felt fine here also so kept going… I was coming up to 4.5k nearing 24 min mark and thought I just might do this - a minute to do .5 of a k … I just had one short incline to over come, about and then it was flat for most of it, so I bolted up the incline , got to the top, and nearly died on the spot … I literally went to empty in a split second… the 1 minute turned in to two minutes … fml.
+1min time penalty for recording it in miles
